Hi guys!
I am working on a dimmer project (as part of my thesis). I tested it and it works fine. I am ready to share my experience with anyone interested. Any suggestions? Programming part is done in MikroBasic.
I have a problem in simulation part, in Proteus. It doesn't seem like triac simulation is done in a right way, or i am missing something? I doubt that, because as i said, it works in practice on a 100w and 500w light bulbs, i even tested it with oscilloscope and i got normal/expected graphs.
Here is the circuit in Proteus:
Chanel A - from zero crossing circuit.
Chanel B - signal from MCU to triac gate.
Chanel C - wierd signal i am getting from triac.
When i lower the voltage to ~100v then everything seems to be ok.
Any help/comment is appreciated
